From the communication before we arrived, the well equipped kitchen, to the sound of the ocean outside the window, this is the best experience we have had at the Mana Kai (our 5th visit!). We will be back!

We have stayed at this particular property a few times and in different units in building. It never fails to impress. You can’t get a better location in Maui Out oldest son lives in Maui and suite definitely has enough room to host the grandkids for a few sleepovers. The pool is great for families and is a great addition to the beach right on your door step

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The view from the balcony was breathtaking – simply magical! The condo was spotless, well-stocked with everything we needed, and Victoria was extremely communicative and accommodating. We loved it so much that we extended our stay by a day! We can't wait to return.

Decent accommodations with a perfect beach location and access. The property was a bit dated and undergoing some renovation work while we were there, but overall a positive experience. I would definitely consider staying at the property again if visiting this area.

The most updated, beautifully decorated condo we've stayed in at the Mana Kai. Everything was brand new and worked perfectly. The beds were super comfortable. The condo was well stocked with everything you need to cook and some excellent coffee. In addition, the welcome basket had assorted items, including a wine bottle. The closet area had lots of hooks to hang things, in addition to ample closet space. Highly recommend for adults.

Good communication by host regarding check in instructions, well layed out Condo, well equipped, and just a short distance to both the sports bar and kings shopping center. Lap pool on site is unusual and welcome. Would definitely book again.

Absolutely stunning views, beautiful spacious lanai. It was just what we were looking for with 2 separate bedroom and bathroom spaces. Would highly recommend you won’t be disappointed

Location in southern Maui was great for exploring the entire island. Views were great and the beach at the property was excellent for swimming and snorkeling. The layout is a bit different than I thought when booking. The second bedroom in on an outside hallway leading the occur keep the curtains shut throughout the stay.

This condo unit was well equipped with everything we needed and it was all in great shape (ie the pots and pans were still in great condition). The beds were comfortable and we just love the lanai in the mornings for the sunrise and evenings for the sunset. The condo itself could use an update but it lacks nothing. I would’ve given this a 5-star stay but for the air conditioner in the main unit has a difficult time keeping the place cool at night if you don’t keep the main doors shut during the day - we ended up sleeping in the second bedroom where the ac worked fantastic in the smaller space. Also a ton of jack hammering going on in the main lobby that really resonated into the unit. Not the owners fault we know but hard to spend a lot of money on a vacation and have construction going on in the building at the same time. Also the condo restaurant is under a large renovation and looks like it will be awhile before that is back up and running as FYI.

Had a great stay in this unit. We spent three nights and have zero complaints about the unit itself. Clean, incredible views, comfortable bed, and plenty of extras. We had a busy few days so didn’t get to take advantage of the pool but the beach is right there and is beautiful. Thank you to the hosts for a great stay!

What a wonderful condo on the best beach in Maui!!!

The lanai has a great view of the ocean and is the perfect place to have meals. The main bed is right next to the lanai. We opened the sliding doors to hear the ocean all night. It was magical. The condo also has easy and close access to the beach. The host was very responsive. The place was clean and tidy. There was also a cooler, beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella, and masks/snorkels. We highly recommend this place as well as the building. Just a quick note. The bar, restaurant and bathroom on the ground floor are currently closed as they will be putting in a new restaurant. There were signs that there could be construction but there wasn't any construction going on when we were there.

Had a wonderful stay here. We selected this because of its location directly on the beach and it did not disappoint! The unit was clean and well appointed. The only issue was that we did not know the number of the parking spot ahead of time so we had to call Guest Services from the parking lot but it was quickly resolved. We would like to stay here again sometime. Great memories- my daughter's boyfriend proposed on the beach here!

Great unit in great location. Unit was as depicted, with ocean view and right on the beach. Very comfy bed. Communication with property manager was seamless and we got into the property early. The property was clean, but there were tiny ants in the kitchen/bathroom area. They were harmless but a bit annoying. Otherwise, perfect rental.

I stayed in the condo with my parents and girlfriend, and we all really enjoyed our time there. The unit has a split setup, with a central studio-style primary + bath attached to the kitchen and living room, and a second bedroom + bath down the hallway, and a set of doors in between. Great views from the primary and guest room, and the building is in an easily accessible location. The owner was easy-going and communicative throughout the booking and stay. Overall I highly recommend staying here.

I would highly recommend staying in this suite. The place is more modern then most other suites around town. I think it's at the right level too. Not to high and not to low, perfect area to see the sunset. What surprised me the most that it was clean, like clean, clean. It actually passed my black light test all over the whole suite. Surprised me! Definitely would be staying back again, if I ever get the chance again.

Such a lovely condo, the view cannot be beat! I appreciated the amenities provided by the host; including beach chairs, towels, coffee maker etc… This is a worry free place to stay in paradise! Perfect location- we’ve stayed with friends and our children at Mana Kai, simply the best!

The Mana Kai never disappoints! Unit 306 was perfect. It was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We would stay in this particular unit again and hope to! The views are amazing and the ease of access to the best beach on Maui is what keeps us coming back here year after year.

My wife were extremely pleased with Mana Kai 607 a two bedroom two bath condo. The photographs show the room exactly as described with incredible views from the 6th floor balcony and being able to see the beach and ocean from the master bed. We were able to sleep with the slider doors sligtly opened and we could hear the waves coming ashore all night, very pleasant. The property is very clean and is located just South of Kihei and North of Wailea so lots of choices for resturants and services. We would recommend the property and would stay there again.The owners were very responsive to our questions via email.The unit could use a little love with some updates, but that did not damper our incredible experience! Laundry services are located right across the hall from the unit and were easy to use. Thanks for helping make our vacation relaxing and memorable.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The condo is spacious and well stocked with what you need for a comfortable stay. The bed was soft which we liked and the bedding towels and linens were good quality. More hotel style than older island style. The condo staff is outstanding and they keep the grounds immaculate and there is security to keep you safe. The grassy area is very nice the pool small but refreshing and the beach is one of the best on Maui.

Right on a wonderful beach with large grass lawn to sit. the complex made the lawn available to anyone (not excluding locals) so was always lively but not crowded. great snorkeling right outside. 10/10
